Chapter Ninety-Eight: Schistosomiasis
Ji Fan and a few people stayed in the camp for one night, the conditions were a little simple, but how good could they be in this mountain?
There's nothing to find fault with. Several of them are not picky people, Ling Fei has wandered in the jungle through experience, and Xuan Ting has lived outside before the newcomer assessment.
It's really nothing.
The next day, Lin Xiwu took a leader and Ji Fan and the four of them to the depths of the Black Mountain.
Six people, not many, but enough.
There are too many people, and it is not easy to get out of trouble when they are targeted by spirit beasts.
Lin Xiwu walked in the front, and there was a little drumming in his heart. To be honest, he didn't think Ji Fan knew more about flower tea than he did.
After hesitating, he felt that he still had to probe Ji Fan's bottom.
"After that kind of spiritual plant is removed, the spiritual power will be lost very quickly, and it may not be noticeable in a place like Montenegro where there is abundant spiritual power, but after leaving Montenegro, within a few hours, the spiritual power in the spiritual plant will be lost. ”
"I don't pick it directly, I operate it on the spot. Ji Fan replied, and at the same time he was a little puzzled, "Can't this kind of spiritual plant be planted?"
"This ...... If you plant it, it should be no problem, and the environment with enough spiritual power concentration can be solved with the spirit array, including some temperature control is not a problem. Lin Xiwu said, "But there's no need! we can't find a way to use this spiritual plant at all, if you eat it raw, you can replenish your spiritual power, but ...... The taste really doesn't work. ”
"It can't be used, which means that this spiritual plant has no value at all. Alas...... It's a great plant, but we can't use it. Lin Xiwu was a little helpless.
"There must be a way, but you haven't found it!" Ji Fan said with a smile.
"I hope your approach opens up the situation, but I warn you that failure is normal. Lin Xiwu patted Ji Fan's shoulder and comforted.
"Look!"
Will he fail?
He has knowledge that this world does not have, so much knowledge about physics and chemistry.
If he leans in that direction, he will not fail, and he may usher in a new era on this continent, an era that only he can control.
Just thinking about it makes me look forward to it.
After walking for about two hours, several people bypassed a low peak. Lin Xiwu pointed to the peak in front of him who was hidden in the fog and said with a smile.
"It's almost there, but this time it's very unexpected, there are no obstacles along the way, and even spirit beasts haven't been encountered. ”
Ji Fan nodded, and the journey was indeed unimpeded.
But the more this is the case, the more Ji Fan feels furious in his heart, how can such a big mountain range not be able to meet a spirit beast?
It's so counterintuitive!
Just when Ji Fan was worried, the commander of Lin Xiwu's subordinates suddenly stopped, and a low exclamation was suppressed by him from his throat.
"Stop, stop. ”
Ji Fan hurriedly took Xuan Ting to bend down, and Xiao Jian and Ling Fei also squatted down as soon as possible.
It was not the first time that several people had wandered in the forest, and naturally knew the importance of concealment.
This warning means that he must have discovered something.
Lin Xiwu also squatted down just now, and at this time he had already moved to the side of the commander.
Ji Fan also came over.
"What's up ahead?" Lin Xiwu asked towards the Commander. The scene in front of him was white in his eyes, and he couldn't see anything.
"I heard the sound of bones shattering, as if something was eating. The Commander said in a low voice.
Lin Xiwu held his breath and listened for a while, but he didn't hear anything except the wind.
"Is it that you are too focused and misheard?" Lin Xiwu asked.
Ji Fan wrinkled his nose, "No, there is a faint smell of blood in the air." “
Lin Xiwu inhaled hard, then glanced at Ji Fan and nodded.
Indeed, the smell of blood is very light, and if you don't pay attention to it, you really can't smell it.
At this moment, a "buzzing sound" came from the dense fog ahead.
The sound is small, but sharp.
Then, a one-foot-long fly flew out of the thick fog.
"Schistosome!" the Commander recognized the flies in the air.
Ji Fan looked through the gap between the grass and trees, the guy looked very similar to a mosquito, but it was a hundred times larger than a mosquito, and in front of his small head was a huge mouthpart, with two bulging things hanging on both sides of the mouthparts, and under the head was a thin barrel-shaped body, trembling and contracting.
"Schistosomes are social animals, let's take a look at the situation first. The commander lowered his head and reminded Ji Fan and the others at the same time.
Ji Fan looked at the guy dangling in the air, and suddenly felt like he was left behind alone. After all, he hadn't heard the "buzz" of other schistosomes flapping their wings.
Suddenly, the schistosoma stopped and began to hover in the air.
This...... The action is a bit strange! Ji Fan looked at the trajectory of the schistosome's flight.
"Oops, it found us. It's going around in circles, it's calling friends. Ji Fan exclaimed.
Ji Fan once read in a book that some insects can convey information through specific flight paths.
He could tell that this guy had really gathered his companions to hunt down the guy hiding in the grass in front of him.
The commander didn't move for a long time, Ji Fan couldn't wait any longer, he got up, and then took out an iron sword from the storage bag and shot it. His movements were so fast that ordinary Spirit Mountain Realm cultivators might not be able to react to his move.
But the schistosoma just shook and ducked.
This dodge speed ......
Ji Fan's heart sank, if he hadn't been able to stop it with his attack next time, it would be able to complete the summoning.
Just as Ji Fan was about to make another move, a sword light flashed from his eyes, and at the moment when the schistosoma was about to complete its summoning trajectory, its entire body was cut through the middle.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment, its wings still stirring, but the lower half of its body slipped diagonally. Then, the speed of the wings flapped slowly, and the schistosomium was unable to draw a flight path and summon its kind.
The commander, who had hesitated before, suddenly jumped out.
Itself, the best way to encounter schistosomes is to hide their bodies, and if they are discovered by the swarm, they will be driven away with flames.
As long as it doesn't get into the nest, it's still easy to deal with dozens of them.
The only caveat is that you should never try to kill it.
Schistosome's blood has a special smell, and when it dies, the smell of blood spreads all over the world, and as long as it is contaminated with this smell, animals and spirit animals will become their targets.
The Commander looked at the corpse of the schistosoma drenched in green blood on the ground, a little frightened. He turned to look at Ji Fan.
"You will be responsible for your ignorance. The Commander roared.
Ji Fan didn't know anything related to the blood of schistosomes, and he was a little dazed when he watched the commander point the finger at him.
At this time, Lin Xiwu stood up and squeezed between the two.
"Quick, let's get out of here first. Lin Xiwu grabbed the commander and tried his best to appease him.
Then he lit the torch that had been prepared long ago and gave one to each of the four men.
Ji Fan was a little helpless, his guess would not be wrong, but the commander suddenly became angry. There must be a secret in it that he doesn't know.
The other party has been in the Black Mountain for many years, and some experience is incomparable to Ji Fan.
The group left their position and marched forward with torches, more cautiously and slower than before.
Xuan Ting gave everyone a sachet, which she usually made out of interest, and it was filled with flowers she liked, and the smell was very good, which could somewhat cover up the smell in the blood of schistosomes.
Under Lin Xiwu's appeasement, the commander also gradually calmed down.
"He was a little emotional, but it was a serious matter in his opinion. Lin Xiwu came to Ji Fan's side and sighed.
"When he entered Montenegro to do a mission, he accidentally killed one in the process of driving away schistosomiasis, and finally attracted a swarm of insects, and the whole team, he survived alone. ”
"So...... I hope you understand him!"
Ji Fan glanced at the commander who was facing away from this side, and took the initiative to go up and pat him on the shoulder.
"I'm sorry for the trouble my recklessness. ”
The commander glanced at Ji Fan, "My emotions are also a little excessive, and it has something to do with my experience...... And you may be right, I used to think that schistosomes would summon their companions through this kind of aerial circle.
But it's useless to know.
These bugs are hateful, you don't kill them, they will summon companions. If you kill them, the smell of their blood will attract more companions.
However, with these sachets," the Commander hesitated for a moment, and smiled, "I hope it's okay!"
Then he sighed and turned away.
Ji Fan didn't say anything more, now is not the time to chat, he looked at Xuan Ting gratefully, Xuan Ting also noticed Ji Fan's projected gaze, her eyes met, and she smiled slightly.
Then he pinched the delicate sachet in his hand. There hasn't been an accident yet, and it's mostly due to this little thing.
